Spread Earth Democracy: Vandana Shiva to Winnipeg 7 March 14

Celebrated environmental and food rights activist Dr. Vandana Shiva will be giving a free public lecture on indigenous food sovereignty and Earth Democracy at 7:30 pm on Saturday, March 29th 2014 at the North Centennial Recreation Centre in Winnipeg.

Earth Democracy is a concept referring to a pacifist approach to democracy for all life on earth, with the goal of empowering and rejuvenating living cultures and living economies. Dr. Shiva's teachings promote every living being's right to food security, right to clean water, and right to life.

For those unable to attend in person, this lecture will be video recorded and broadcasted live via livestream.com. Event organizers, Winnipeg-based food freedom rights group The Powers House Producers, strongly encourage communities to host their own virtual lecture through this live stream. Communities are also invited to share their knowledge of traditional foods unique to their cultures, and can post photos of these special meals through a common Tumblr account.

For information on how to follow the live stream, how to share your culture's feast foods, or more on Dr. Vandana Shiva's Earth Democracy, please contact powerhouseproducers@gmail.com.
